SLU Basketball Players Arrested, Questioned in Sexual Assault in Dorm

Three Saint Louis University basketball players are being investigated for the sexual assault of a 20-year-old female student. The woman said she was attacked in between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Saturday inside a dorm at the Grand Forest Apartments.

Police have questioned three male basketball players about the incident. Per KSDK:

Defense attorney John Rogers said three members of the men's
Billikens basketball team were taken into police custody Saturday and
were released the same afternoon. "I was contacted over the weekend by
family members of an unnamed number of St. Louis University basketball
players who were concerned that their sons were arrested and being
questioned regarding allegations of a sexual assault on campus at St.
Louis University," said Rogers.

Rogers said all three basketball players are cooperating with the St.
Louis Police Department's ongoing investigation. "I know generally that
there was a female student who made a complaint of a sexual assault,
and I know there were a number of statements made by various members of
the St. Louis University basketball team denying any criminal
wrongdoing."
